House Speaker John Boehner's Speech in Support of Israel; Read it Here Because You'll be Hard-Pressed to Find it in the Mainstream Media"Our democracies are cut from the same cloth. Our peoples treasure the same values. Where I'm from…where we're from…we stand by our friends, especially the ones who have always stood by us. Supporting Israel and her people has been the policy of this nation since Harry Truman sat in the Oval Office. Our commitment to Israel should be no less strong today. If anything, it should be stronger than it's ever been. And, with your help, it will be. It must be." (Washington, DC)—Israel National News has published House Speaker John Boehner's address at a fundraiser on September 18. It reads, in part: "Like you, I have read suggestions by newspaper columnists and observers that events have overtaken Israel…that Israel is 'isolating itself' in the Middle East. That view is wrong, and always has been wrong. "Israel is not isolating itself—Israel is leading in the Middle East.
"I've been Speaker of the House more than eight months now…we've had some significant moments in the chamber. For me, one of the most powerful occurred in May when Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed a Joint Meeting of Congress. It was my honor to invite him. It was the least I could do for the leader of one of our closest allies in the world. Bibi did not disappoint. He received nearly 30 standing ovations—bipartisan standing ovations. All well-deserved. "Ladies and gentlemen, I invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to address Congress because the American people deserved to hear from him—and Washington, quite frankly, needed to hear what he had to say. I invite the people in this room—and anyone as concerned as I am about the future of Israel—to speak out. Washington needs to hear from you, too. For this to be a truly transformational time, one thing cannot change, and that is America's commitment to Israel's future. "This week, Israel will face a three-pronged assault when the United Nations General Assembly meets. There will be a 'celebration' of the Durban Declaration, a document that charges Israel with racism. The president of Iran, who has called Israel a cancer to be annihilated, will take the podium. And the Palestinian Authority will seek a unilateral recognition of statehood. "Where I'm from—where we're from—we stand by our friends, especially the ones who have always stood by us. Supporting Israel and her people has been the policy of this nation since Harry Truman sat in the Oval Office. Our commitment to Israel should be no less strong today. If anything, it should be stronger than it's ever been. And, with your help, it will be. It must be. "The truth can pierce even the most stubborn defenses. It is up to us to tell Israel's story; to spread Israel's truth. The voice of America starts with the people in this room. "I'm up for it. And for the sake of our people, Israel's people, and all freedom-loving peoples—I hope all of us are up for it. "Let's look out for one another, and keep at it. Never quit. Thank you."

"Israel does not stand alone—Israel stands above as the one true beacon of freedom and opportunity in the Middle East. We're here to see that Israel continues to thrive, and to make clear it is America's duty to stand by her side. Not just as a broker or observer, but as a strong partner and reliable ally.
